On
April 14 2014, almost 300 Nigerian schoolgirls were abducted from their school
dormitory in the middle of the night. There has been reports of subsequent abductions of girls
and women in North Eastern Nigeria as a form of deterrent to girls education.
These
crimes against humanity, against women has not left the
world in general and Nigerians in particular, unscarred. As concerned global citizens we
refuse to accept this as the norm, as a way of life whether in Africa, or in
Asia or even the Americas. Unhindered access to education is a right that every
woman and girl should enjoy without fear of reprisal.
When
words fail, as they do at times like these, we find other mediums to express
our outrage, our pains, our hopes.
